20 Greatest Moments In Wizarding World Movies
9. The Mirror Of Erised - Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone
The third act of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban doesn't work all that well thanks to the inclusion of the Time Turner, which was a huge misjudgement in general. Still, Harry conjuring a powerful Patronus and saving both himself (from another timeline) and Sirius Black from a swarm of Dementors has lost none of its power.
Harry Potter isn't only a fantasy adventure, but it's also a coming-of-age story and moments such as this really hammer that home. Harry finally being able to perform this complex and advanced spell, thus overcoming his fear of Dementors, is a wonderfully triumphant moment for Harry and it's incredibly stirring to watch thanks to the superb cinematic quality of this scene.
